The “Little Town-Halls” in the Czech Republic: An Unexploited Potential of Functional Decentralization
Original language description
The aim of this chapter is to analyze the function of sub-municipal units (SMUs) and to identify the drivers or initiators of the creation of SMUs and the role SMUs play in terms of representative democracy and multilevel governance in the Czech Republic. The study addresses the following issues: How often do Czech statutory cities decide to organize sub-municipal councils? What is the role of the SMUs in the provision of local government functions? What is the level of citizens’ interest in the SMUs? The chapter concludes with a discussion on whether the SMUs could be the appropriate instrument, partially counterbalancing the negative effects of the Czech fragmented municipal structure.
